No risk. No story...28all. Eya. *BS, CS* The Warm-Up:
“The depth of relationships formed and folks’ willingness to engage was inspiring. The unstructured and unplanned side conversations provided additional texture to the conference, enabling serendipitous, thoughtful, and enriching dialogue. After all, everyone in attendance was there in some way, shape, or form, because they listened or had a connection to Founders or Business Breakdowns. Podcasting can essentially become the soundtrack to our lives. It allows for a certain intimacy; listeners get to know you better than if they were simply hearing your song or reading your book…” ~Sean Legister, Relationships Run The World [New Blog Post Alert] The Core: “To find the truth in something, remove your self from it.” ~Naval Ravikant “I respect the moon’s unwillingness to be photographed on a phone.” ~@synexdoche “The fastest way to find what you’re looking for is to connect…not search.” ~Matt Gottesman “Overthinkers get luckier in life once they notice they didn’t lack intelligence, but the courage to act.” ~Kevin Szabo “You think you are playing safe, but you are actually accumulating anxiety. Take bolder risks, it’s mentally liberating.” ~Orange Book “It’s true that charisma can make a person stand out for a moment, but character sets a person apart for a lifetime.” ~John C. Maxwell “A lot of rich people plateau because they think more about the opportunities they miss than the ones right in front of them.” ~Alex Hormozi “Conspiracy theorists tend to be extremely skeptical regarding the existing consensus, but when it comes to their own beliefs, they lose all their skepticism and fall prey to confirmation bias.” ~Yuval Harai, Nexus “The more emotional intelligent you become, the less you take things personally. You start to see that other people’s behaviors are often reflections of their own struggles, not a statement about your worth.” ~@ThirdEyeMastery “The world is filled with absolute cowards…They don’t risk anything in their actions. Don’t say anything with their words. Never go against the grain, lean into their own quirks or try for anything ‘unreasonable.’ Don’t be one of those people—live life with the volume up.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “Starbucks is a bank that sells coffee. They have more mobile payment users than Apple Pay or any other payment service in the US. Consumers purchasing gift cards are providing interest-free loans to the company. Billions of dollars sit on the mobile app. Pretty crazy.” ~Anthony Pompliano “ ‘Your whole network doubted us,’ Smart said. ‘Nobody believed us. And then they tried to rob us with calls in this place, and these guys are so resilient, you know what I mean? We talked about intent. What was our intent when we walked on the field? Our intent was not to take pictures, not to do all the superstar stuff. Our intent was to eat.’” ~Kirby Smart, following Georgia’s win over No.1 Texas The only way to stay sane in 2024 is to deliberately slow yourself down - Notes on paper - Silent drives - Long walks - Paperback books. The attention economy wants you to be hyperstimulated. A slave to cheap dopamine hits. Doomscrolling. Bouncing from app to app searching for stimulation You wouldn’t eat junk food. So why let yourself consume junk media? You have the library of Alexandria at your fingertips but spend your time watching cat videos and arguing with anons on the Internet. Take back control of your attention.” ~Noah Ryan “There’s a Russian saying about nostalgia: ‘The past is more unpredictable than the future.’ It’s so common for people’s memories about a time to become disconnected from how they actually felt at the time…I have a theory for why this happens: When studying history, you know how the story ends, which makes it impossible to imagine what people were thinking or feeling in the past…When thinking about our own lives, we don’t remember how we actually felt in the past; We remember how we think we should have felt, given what we know today.” ~Morgan Housel, A Message From the Past (Thoughts on Nostalgia) Last Set: “[Art of Kintsugi] It was a paradox shifting way for me to think about overcoming or being better. It wasn’t the idea that we are perfect the way we were before something happened to us, but rather it is that we get to wear our cracks with a new type of pride and a new type of beauty…And that’s maybe how I think of overcoming now. Is I think of myself like a ceramic that has been cracked many times and because of the love in my life and because of you know great therapists and because of good people and because I’ve worked, and I’ve managed to find ways to put gold bondage in those cracks to somehow find a little more beauty in myself than I had before the thing that happened to me.” ~Trevor Noah: My Depression Was Linked To ADHD!
